Welp, I just got a bit of sad that I won’t get to read any more Les Mis tonight. 🙁

I can’t think of any other Emilys, so unless you mean Emma? I don’t know who you’re looking for, sorry.
I’m good. Just going about my life. 🙂 Writing, music, things like that. How are you?

XD
It’s about a dog. And if you can’t guess why it’s sad, then you’re sad. 😛 XD
So, I finished the actual story on Saturday night, but I read the two Appendices as well. They wren’t very necessary, I didn’t get much out of them, but it was my first time reading the book, so I thought I’d better.
And now… *clears throat*

I actually haven’t been on Story Embers very much though. I don’t quite understand why this site was put on hiatus while another, very similar site was started up.
Also, I’m not sure which other Emily you mean?
-
@perfectfifths Not quite sure what her real surname is…I don’t think that she has an account anymore.
How are you, anyway? 🙂

That’s why I said I wouldn’t mind, because I read in bed at night, so no one’s around.
Hey, I said I cried, didn’t I? Yes it was sad! XD If I tell you what kind of movie it is, you’ll guess why pretty much right away. XDI didn’t like him still, I was impatient for him to finish telling his side so Marius could say, “No! He didn’t…[Read more]

*hugs back* True, I know that, but sometimes it’d be nice to express it in some way.
I do sometimes cry during movies (ever seen Marley and Me? Oh boy!) but I try and stop myself, because usually everyone is there watching. But in bed, while I’m reading, I’m alone, and I wouldn’t mind letting out some feels.
Oh! I am (for once)…[Read more]

Oh… Jean Valjean is dying. :'( He can’t die! I only allowed myself three (short) chapters last night because it was very late (or very early, being after midnight). But I was dying to read more!
I wish I cried over books more. The most I get is a slight stinging in the eyes, or a bit of moisture. But sometimes I think, “I…[Read more]

Hello, Emily!
I feel like the KP forum has been winding down a lot since Story Embers started. I know I haven’t been very active on it for some time.
-
Hey Louise! Thanks for understanding 🙂
-
Also, do you know if the other Emily is still here? I wanted to tag her before but couldn’t work out which one she was…there are certainly a lot of Emily’s here now! 🙂

Yes! D:
I feel like he loves him because Marius loves Cosette. But that could also be why he hates him.
I wasn’t overly fond of Javert, but I did feel very sorry for him. 🙁
Jean has just told Marius pretty much everything. And Marius didn’t seem to know how to take it. He’d allowed Jean to come every evening, but he also made…[Read more]

I almost cried with Jean Valjean last night. :'( I feel so sad for him right now – he’s just lost his whole world! I feel like his thumb injury was just an excuse not to have to be the one that gives Cosette away and everything. 🙁 And now he doesn’t know what to do.

Yes! D’:
Yes, they’re the perfect foils!
Do you think he hates Marius still? I mean, he’s helping plan his and Cosette’s wedding and everything. They haven’t really interacted, so I don’t really know Jean Valjean’s feelings towards Marius – I know Marius accepts him, like as Cosette’s chaperon, but I bet if he knew that he was…[Read more]

I read a whole “book” (this book is divided up into parts and books within the parts) about the Paris sewers. XD It was… somewhat disgusting at times, seriously.

I KNOWWWWW IT WAS SO SAD. But wasn’t it all beautiful at the same time, and esp. Enjolras’? With GRANTAIRE?! *shrieks*

Is it not HEARTBREAKING? The poor man. Yeah, that with the thumb injury, totally. *weeps* You’re not done being sad, never fear. D”:

Oh, Gavroche! Oh, Gavroche! _internal sobbing_ That poor little ragamuffin!

Oh, if I had heroes, Enjolras would be one! He’s just… He’s all or nothing. He is wholly set on dying for this cause. It’s just like… _UGH!_ XD

I KNOW! He was an absolute hero to the end.

Yeah, but I’d rather wait until I’ve watched it. 😀 I don’t like listening to movie songs before seeing them in the context of the movie/musical (my friend kept…[Read more]

Oh yeah, well that makes sense. 😉 I haven’t seen the movie of the musical, but I hope you like. Some people say it’s terrible, but others really like it, so I suppose it depends. 😛
Sort of, yes. XD Yep, that.
@emma-flournoy
XD
I’ll let you know when I do what I think. 😉 I think since I’m not expecting it to be very much like the book, I don’t think I’ll be really disappointed. Unlike, say, The Hobbit. 😛
XD Yeah, I figured.
*snort* Yeah, The Hobbit.
Well that’s good. 😉
@emma-flournoy
lol. See if I ever trust you to make movies out of my favourite book again. PJ! 😛 Although he’s the guy that’s supposed to direct the next Tintin movie, so maybe I should be really worried. XD
So… Les Mis took me about three months and fifteen days to read – not quite as long as TCOMC, which was more like four months. How long…[Read more]
Uh-oh. XD
Eight days short of three months, so not too different. Looong book. ;P
@emma-flournoy
Have you seen the Tintin movie? Steven Spielberg directed the first one and it was really good.
Yeah. XD Very long.
No, I haven’t… It’s not the same thing as Rin-Tin-Tin, is it?
@emma-flournoy
No. It’s a comic strip by Belgian artist Georges Remis (who went by Herge) about a young reporter from the 30-40s and his adventures. They’re really good. And I think the Tintin movie, although done with motion-capture 3D, really captured the spirit of Tintin (I am a big fan, so you know my expectations would be high).
Hey, that sounds neat. I think I remember you mentioning the comic strip at some point in a previous conversation. Well, I hope the next movie exceeds expectations! And with ol’ PJ behind the wheel, I guess you’ve gotta keep your chin up extra high. *solemn nod*
@emma-flournoy
They’re very fun. Yeah, I hope so too. 😉 Recent articles are saying maybe in the next three years.
Sweeet.
@emma-flournoy
So, now that I’ve finished that, what’s the next big classic you recommend I read and discuss with you? 😀
